Tonight, we celebrate the Festival of Ruth, or Shavuos (Sha- vu -os). I’m sure I’ve posted about this before. Traditionally, Jews stay up all night studying the Bible, especially the story of the faithful daughter in law: Ruth. I took your oldest brother out for Middle Eastern food tonight. He took one look at the…

I think I’m going to update the Sketchy Scribe with a new look. Just wanted to give you a heads up before it happens so you aren’t thinking you are on the wrong website. This should happen in June. My last day of work is June 9th so it will probably be after that. 🙂…

So many Memorial Days have come and gone since I’ve seen you both. Please remember to thank any service member you come into contact with for their service. It is no small thing to give your life up for your country. In fact, one of my ex boyfriends (I was about 20 years old when…

Just another crazy Sunday. I took Grandma out as usual. There is some sad news… Remember Grandma and Grandpa’s sheltie, Shaina? She died the other day. We aren’t sure how it happened. But Grandma was hysterical! It was a good thing Kris was there to comfort her. We will miss her constant barking and her…

Dearest Bea, I’m sure you are feeling kind of forgotten right about now. With all this graduation hoopla for your big sister, it isn’t surprising. But just think…you are next! I hear you are glad to be seeing more of your big brother and that you are working on getting your driver’s license. Keep on…

I’m sorry if I haven’t written much lately. Just crazy busy at the moment. But you are in my thoughts. Even now, I’m sending you “beautiful thoughts, and faith and trust and a sprinkling of pixie dust.” Doors are starting to open for you both. Be sure you know all the facts before you rush…

Seeing you all standing at the top of the hill at the beginning of the ceremony was an impressive sight. And watching you all walk with such dignity was a delight. I have to admit, I shed a few tears last night. You are all grown up now. Later, I waited for them to call…

Being Facebook friends with the ex-Drama teacher at AVHS has its perks. She posted this on Facebook a few minutes ago. I thought you’d enjoy seeing it. I think I might need to check out how these students do this – since I’m making movies myself.

I know you have a BIG day and night ahead of you. I also know your graduation starts at 7 pm (It says so on my ticket). I’ll be there as soon as I can. I’ll try to sit along the route that you’ll walk to get back to your seat. That way you can…

Ready…Get set… NOW! It’s time to let your roar out. I think I already felt your bite. OUCH! Watch those teeth! Be sure you have all the info before you start tearing into someone, sweet Purity. I love you. But careful of getting too emotional. Keep focused on joy. There is so much in your…
